Obama Just Doesn't Like Hearing Bad News
— Ace

"Leadership" -- fostering an environment in which underlings do not tell you the truth, because you're not capable of handling the truth.

As the story of the Obamacare website fiacso unfolds, senior administration aides tell me that the president is “mad, frustrated and angry.”

Mad that his signature legislative achievement is stuck at the gate, frustrated that he’s running out of time to fix it, and angry that he’s got a second term agenda now going nowhere. He’s so furious, in fact, that he stepped out of character to vent to an assembled group of top aides. “If I had known [about the website problems] ,” the steaming president reportedly said, according to the New York Times, “We could have delayed the website.”

All of which begs the real question: how could he not have known?

Gloria Borger is a reliable liberal spinner, so take this with a grain of salt:

This much is clear, after speaking with both past and present senior administration officials: no one was really in charge, so no one knew for sure how bad the overall picture was.

Yes that's the Administration's favored line when it comes to disasters -- "no one" was in charge. Which, conveniently enough, means no one can be blamed.

What’s more, and—perhaps most telling—no one wanted to even hint to the president that this techno-savvy administration possibly had a website stuck in, say, 1995. “People don’t like to tell him bad news,” says an ex-White House staffer. “Part of it is the no-drama culture.”

This may seem like a deadly indictment but in fact it's Obama's favored spin. Remember, he doesn't have many good options here-- he's either lying, or lazy, or completely incompetent. Claiming that he doesn't like "bad news" is in fact a knock on him -- but it's preferable to the alternatives.

After all, this particular spin suggests an easy remedy: The president can just announce he's going to deputize people as Official Truth Tellers to inform him properly. Problem solved!

Here's some evidence of my statement that Gloria Borger is a general transmission station for liberal memes:

And yet, as the dry-runs continued to produce red flags—over and over—the president remained in his steely cocoon. If this were the presidency of George W. Bush or Ronald Reagan, the obvious theories would abound: the chief executive is disengaged. Or incurious. Or worse. But since Obama is none of the above, what gives?

What evidence is there that Obama is "none of the above"? He is incurious as to how his Administration does business and completely disengaged from it -- something he's said, from his own mouth, a dozen times, frequently telling us he learned about all this when you did, from the morning papers, and always speaking as if he's not the President in charge of the Executive, but just a spectator sitting outside of it, critiquing it.

As if he's the National Ombudsman of the government: No actual responsibility for the Administration's functioning (or, more often, malfunctioning), but ready, willing, and able to criticize it as if he were an outsider whose only job it was to comment on the government's performance.

Sure, Gloria Borger could easily imagine theorizing that stupidity or incompetence or laziness (both in terms of industry and intellect) were the culprits in a Republican Administration, but in the case of Genius of the Republic Barack Obama? Why, it's inconceivable.

What "gives" you nitiwit, is the baseline assumption that he is in fact "none of the above", which you have foisted upon us since day one.

8 "I will tell you, though, that my goal is to have the best possible government, and that means me winning," Obama said, per ABC News’ Sunlen Miller. "And so, I am very practical minded. I’m a practical-minded guy. And, you know, one of my heroes is Abraham Lincoln." Obama then referred to "a wonderful book written by Doris Kearns Goodwin called ‘Team of Rivals,’ in which [she] talked about [how] Lincoln basically pulled in all the people who had been running against him into his Cabinet because whatever, you know, personal feelings there were, the issue was, ‘How can we get this country through this time of crisis?’" - Obama, 5/22/2008

34 I'm fascinated by this FDA decision and how quickly they acted. They made the right decision. It's just that when average Americans are sick and dying the FDA never seems to make exceptions to their decade-long approval process. But, man, they act quick when it involves the Ruling Class. Just wish they'd show similar concern about the rest of us.

37 Obama is as oblivious to the pratfalls of the ACA as he was oblivious to Gov Blagojevick selling the senate seat to then candidate Valerie Jarrett. His inner circle took care of everything for him and thus left him out of the loop. When you have people to handle stuff for you, you don't sweat the gory details. So either Obama is an absent minded professor requiring the full time help of handlers or he was fully apprized of the details and let others do his dirty work. Let's go with incompetence as it covers both circumstances. He choose his inner circle poorly and thus he is responsible for their actions and choices as they did these things in his name under the full authority of the POTUS.

39 Since Obama is a lazy dumb shit he may not have known about the problems with the web site.  I am sure Vajajay is the one actually running the WH. So she probably knew. So reporters should be asking who knew about it if he didn't because he was out playing golf again.



But, Obama did know about the more severe problems with his and Pelosi's legislation since supposedly they designed it.  Including that purposful inclusion of any changes cause you to lose your existing policy.

However, paying the premium is not necessarily a simple matter.  An online chat with a Healthcare.gov representative revealed that the site is not recommending using the exchange to make the initial premium payment. The representative was not even completely sure the option was being offered.

If they take a page from old Soviet Russia or maybe North Korea, any day now the White House will find a "Republican deep cover spy" inside CGI who was the one responsible for sabotaging the website and rollout.  They'll just randomly pull a name out of the employee rolls and then have him arrested and sent to prison.  Then they'll annouce that the website and all the problems will have been fixed and it will be another glorious day for the democrats and the FSA.  And when more problems crop up, they'll say there were even more spies and saboteurs inside CGI than they realized and they'll have to work even harder to flush them out.

Except that there had to be layers of management as well as a project manager in charge of the software/website development.

130 IIRC the website was behind schedule because the requirements kept changing. And the requirements were written with politics in mind not the user experience (i.e. make them register and enter personal info before displaying quotes). So who was directing these requirements changes?

"This may seem like a deadly indictment but in fact it's Obama's favored spin. Remember, he doesn't have many good options here-- he's either lying, or lazy, or completely incompetent. Claiming that he doesn't like "bad news" is in fact a knock on him -- but it's preferable to the alternatives."

 

 

I have yet to meet someone who likes bad news but actual adults are able to handle it.  And that is what they are saying - he is too immature to tell bad news to.  He goes all what - 'Hitler chewing the carpet' when someone drops a word of reality into the Oval Office?

 

The reality, as the commenters on the CNN article were pointing out is that Obama was incurious and disengaged from the most important piece of social legislation in 50 years.  His legacy.  That which would put him into the hiostory books.*  He did not pay close attention and did not have anyone assigned to pay close attention to it and tell him what exactly is going on.

 

Disengaged.

Incurious.

Obama.

 

 

*He has made the history books with this, just not exactly how he planned.

Serious question, why does anyone have to tell zero what is going on??  Doesn't he ask how his signature legislation is going??

 

Are we to understand that Zero never picks up the fucking phone to see how the launch of this immense program bearing his name will take place??

If she had asked Obama at the initiation of this project to tell us who was in charge, does she think he would he have said "nobody"?  Seriously?

“People don’t like to tell him bad news,” says an ex-White House staffer. “Part of it is the no-drama culture.”

 

Okay, see, here's the thing.   There's a difference between "No Drama" and "No SHARED Drama."  

 

"No drama"    means that everything's working as it should.  Things are handled as they come, without fuss, in the most efficient and effective ways possible.  This means there are not tortured meetings to reflect on how a particular decision will have political ramifications,  which judging from all the excuses pouring from the White House seems to have been their go-to    reason    for not doing things.  "We didn't want to delay based on security concerns because the Republicans could use that as a wedge issue."   Helloooo, that's drama.

 

"No SHARED drama" is when there's a fuckload of drama going on, but everyone acts like if they don't talk about it    then it's not real.   This is also known as the "ostrich head in the sand" approach.   If your chief executive is so mercurial, emotional and thin-skinned that he can't handle difficult news and must be coddled    to   prevent him from blowing up like Vesuvius, that is not a "no drama" atmosphere.   That is   a    "hide      mommy's   belt, Suzy, or she'll beat us again"    domestic violence atmosphere.

I think it was the post where Marcotte submitted a pic of herself to a dating site or a news story on the topic of hawtness.  She overplayed her hand saying she looked sort of like a Brazilian underwear model, and then ace said, 'not really' and then proceeded to break it down.  Somewhere in there, I think I remember reading him saying he'd would in fact like to give her the goods, though my memory has become more and more hazy as of late.

224 This Gloria dumbass doesn't realize she's admitting Zero has less experience managing people and processes than the junior manager at a McDonald's.  Anyone who has ever managed people for even a few months learns to encourage people to foresee problems, to try to solve them, but to bring them to the boss's attention as soon as they're recognized if they can't.  Any halfway decent manager does not like surprises, and their people know it. 

Just more evidence Obama is an empty suit, even 5 years into occupying office.  Simply amazing that he hasn't learned a simple management 101 lesson yet.

225 "...no one wanted to even hint to the president that this techno-savvy administration possibly had a website stuck in, say, 1995."

Breaking News: The Problem With ObamaCare Isn't The Website

The web internet interface isn't working, sure, but it isn't working because it was also designed to try and disguise what it was a consumer was really getting. As the emphasis is being placed by the administration and media sycophants on an inefficient website (which is the most acutely visible issue so far), it's really all of the other foundational issues which are so catastrophic. It's no wonder they want to redirect anger to a web GUI. It's better than the anger and attention being directed at the law, its implementation, punitive tax redistribution, and the "help your friends, punish your enemies" practice. Oh, and all the serial lying and fraud.

What should be the debatable point now should be the course on whether or not to impeach the president and not on the best way to optimize a government website and who to blame.

He's a man-child who needs to grow the fuck up.

In the private sector, he would either be a mail clerk, or unemployed (but for Affirmative Action, of course).

This is just bullshit.  If he can't handle bad news, then he should step the fuck down and hand the job over to someone more qualified, like a grade-schooler.

Ménage à trois, Blackberry hacks, swept under the rug. You may remember Bashir for his interview with Princess Diana about her failed marriage to the Prince of Wales. Martin Bashir began his war on women, suggesting the Princess deserved to have someone "p*ss" and "s**t" in her mouth because he didn't like her comparison of the national debt to slavery. Ok, Palin's no Princess. But Bashir the misogynist warrior of words thinks he's looking good to anyone of sound mind. And as for debt leading to slavery, awfully hypocritical of Bashir, born of the high Hindi/Urdu elitist caste with the finest British education from eugenic literary philosophers, to argue anything except his own mea culpa regarding enslavement of those he deems subhuman, less by birth/design social status. Put Bashir on ACA and let him bear the good news to Obama.

343 Maybe Obama needs a Court Jester that his people can funnel the bad news to. Then the jester can tell it as a joke to Obama so he will be informed without having his good mood spoiled. And if the joke displeases him and spoils his mood, Obama can always have the Jester thrown into the pit of poisonous vipers he keeps in the White House basement for dispatching insurance commissioners who disagree with him. Personally, I think the story of his staff keeping Obama in ignorance is BS. If Obama went around the country telling what turned out to be a lie about the web side because of his staff, they'd be fired in an instant, because the last thing an egotist like Obama will tolerate is being made to look like a fool in front of a crowd of his admirers. There have been no such firings at the White House, so it's more likely this is just lie to cover up Obama's mendacity.

344 Don't you just love how Borger references if this had been Bush or Reagan, since they were dunces this could have been foreseen. What a hack. Reagan actually had a resume before seeking public office and as an executive just as Bush had. Obama has never had an actual job were he had to produce results before he became president. If he wasn't black he never would have rose above a state senator because smooth talking white crackers are a dime a dozen.

346 If Obama doesn't like hearing bad news, what exactly have they been talking about at the WH these past five years?

347 I read Obama had a "team of rivals" in his cabinet? What are they rivals to see who can kiss his ass the most?

348 That's the Limbaugh Theorem in action: he pretends he's got nothing to do with his own operation, and is always in "campaign mode" as if he were an outsider, tut-tutting over it all.

Total escape from responsibility, like the toolhead he is.

349 Now that I think of it Obama reminds me of that one scene in Robin Hood Men in Tights where the Sheriff has to tell the King the bad news and the King doesn't want to hear it.
